== Differences between Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX (Cumulus 3): ==
*Cumulus MX
*#For example,
*# e.g. the hour in 24-hour format, is "
*
▲*Cumulus MX (when running on Windows) uses the '''.NET''' date and time format characters that are not exactly the same as the '''Delphi''' ones that Cumulus 1 uses. For Cumulus MX see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx this Microsoft site] for format selectors. The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, and .Net is case sensitive, so .Net can use upper and lower case for different items, where Delphi has to use different letters. If Cumulus MX is running on Linux or Mac OS X, then it uses '''Mono''' for date and time formatting, but the same case sensitive rules apply as for .NET.
▲*#For example,[[File:badge v1.png]] in Delphi, "nn" means "minutes" for Cumulus 1, [[File:Badge vMx.png]]but "minutes" is "mm" for .Net in Cumulus MX.
▲*# e.g. the hour in 24-hour format, is "HH" (although in Delphi (Cumulus 1)'hh' would be treated same) but in .NET it must be "HH" (Cumulus MX).
▲*[[File:Badge vMx.png]]You might be put off by references within .NET (Cumulus MX) to single/standard characters and custom modifiers, the following 3 examples may add clarity:
*#For example ''<#MonthTempHD format="d">'' is a single character format modifier, therefore the 'd' acts as a standard modifier, and causes a date of 22 July 2014 for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard short date format e.g. '22/07/2014' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale).
*#Similarly ''<#MonthTempHD format="M">'' is a single character format modifier and therefore the 'M' acts as a standard modifier and causes the date for the highest temperature in the month to be returned in the standard day and month format e.g. '22 July' (exact contents for any one date vary by locale).
*#Whilst ''<#metdate format="d M">'' is not a single character format modifier and therefore both the 'd' and the 'M' are interpreted as custom modifiers and cause the current date to be returned as a digit(s) for the day and a digit(s) month (in a without leading zeroes format) e.g. '6 7' would be returned for 6 July.
*The other change with the "format" parameter is the different way that .Net escapes characters that are not being used as format specifiers. In
